INFINIUM LABS, INC. STOCKHOLDER VESTING AGREEMENT
INFINIUM
LABS, INC.
THIS
STOCKHOLDER VESTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”)
is
made as of January 11, 2006 (the “Effective Date’) by and between Infinium Labs,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
on
behalf of itself and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Infinium Labs Operating
Corporation, and Xxxx Xxxxx (“Stockholder”).
RECITALS
Stockholder
has been issued by the Company a total of one million (1,000,000) shares of
common stock, $.001 par value, of the Company (the “Initial Shares” which
definition shall include any additional or substitute shares received by the
Stockholder resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination, reclassification or similar transaction). Stockholder shall also
be
entitled to issuance of an additional 4,000,000 (the “Future Shares” which
definition shall include any additional or substitute shares received by the
Stockholder resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination, reclassification or similar transaction) subject to approval by
the
Company’s shareholders. The Company can not give any assurances that it will
receive shareholder approval to increase its authorized common stock.
Shareholder shall have no claim to the Future Shares, regardless of the vesting
schedule, in the event the Company does not receive shareholder approval to
increase its authorized common stock. The Initial Shares and Future Shares
shall, cumulatively, be referred to as “Total Shares.”
In
consideration of the Company’s continued employment of the Stockholder and for
other good and valuable consideration, the Company and Stockholder each desire
to impose: (a) certain restrictions and obligations with respect to the Total
Shares and (b) certain vesting requirements on a portion of the Total
Shares. Of the Total Shares, (i) the Initial Shares are vested as of the
Effective Date and (ii) the Future Shares are Non-Vested (as that term is
defined below).
AGREEMENT
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the covenants set
forth herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the
parties agree as follows:
Section
1. Repurchase
Right
(a) Transfer
Restrictions.
Subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Stockholder agrees that the
Total
Shares (or any portion thereof) may not be sold, transferred by gift, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise transferred or disposed of, other than by will or
the
laws of descent and distribution (a “Permitted
Transfer”),
prior
to the date when Stockholder becomes vested in the Total Shares (or portion
thereof) pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and any Total Shares (or portion
thereof) shall constitute “Non-Vested Shares” until they vest as provided
herein. Any attempt to transfer any Non-Vested Shares (or any portion thereof)
in violation of this Section 1 shall be null and void and shall be
disregarded by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder
may
transfer Non-Vested Shares to (i) the Stockholder’s spouse, children or
grandchildren or to a trust established by the Stockholder for the benefit
of
the Stockholder or his spouse, children or grandchildren, or (ii) an entity
controlled by the Stockholder and established primarily for tax or estate
planning purposes (each, a “Permitted
Transferee”),
provided in any such case that the Permitted Transferee furnishes the Company
with a written agreement that binds the Permitted Transferee to all provisions
of this Agreement.
(b) Repurchase
Right.
The
Non-Vested Shares shall be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company
(the “Repurchase
Right”).
In
the event that the Stockholder ceases to be or is removed as a employee of
the
Company for any reason, the Company shall, upon the date of any such
termination, have an irrevocable, exclusive right for a period of ninety (90)
days from such date to repurchase any portion or all of the Non-Vested Shares
from the Stockholder, or any person receiving the Non-Vested Shares by operation
of law or other involuntary transfer, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00
(the “Purchase
Price”)
for
all the Non-Vested Shares.
(c) Exercise
of Repurchase Right.
The
Repurchase Right may be exercised by the Company by delivery of written notice
to Stockholder or his or her executor and a check in the amount of the Purchase
Price for the Non-Vested Shares being repurchased. Upon delivery by the Company
of such notice and payment, the Company shall become the legal and beneficial
owner of the Non-Vested Shares being repurchased and all rights and interest
therein or related thereto, and the Company shall have the right to re-transfer
or cancel the Non-Vested Shares without further action by
Stockholder.
Section
2. Vesting.
For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “vest” shall mean, with respect to any
portion of the Total Shares, that such portion is no longer considered
Non-Vested Shares subject to repurchase as provided in Section 1. Subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall acquire a
vested interest in, and the Company’s repurchase right under Section 1 shall
accordingly lapse with respect to, the Non-Vested Shares in equal quarterly
installments during the 24-month period beginning on the date of execution
of
this Agreement.
Section
3. Sale
Transaction.
In
the
event of any Sale Transaction, any Non-Vested Shares shall immediately vest
in
the entirety and Stockholder shall be released from the Repurchase Right and
restrictions on transfer contained herein. The term “Sale Transaction” shall
mean (i) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
entity, (ii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or (iii) sale,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the
Company, in either case other than a Sale Transaction in which the Company’s
Members immediately prior to such transaction will hold voting securities or
voting interests in the surviving or succeeding entity representing more than
fifty percent (50%) of the total voting securities or voting interests of such
surviving or succeeding entity immediately after such transaction.
Section
4. Right
of First Refusal.
(a)
Prior
Notice.
Neither
the Stockholder nor any transferee of any Total Shares shall sell, hypothecate,
encumber or otherwise transfer any Total Shares or any right or interest therein
without first complying with the provisions of this Section 4 or obtaining
the prior written consent of the Company. In the event the Stockholder desires
to accept a bona fide third-party offer to acquire any or all of the Total
Shares, the Stockholder shall provide the Company with written notice (the
“Transfer
Notice”)
of:
(i) the Stockholder’s intention to transfer; (ii) the name of the proposed
transferee; (iii) the number of Total Shares to be transferred; and (iv) the
proposed transfer price or value and terms thereof.
(b)
First
Refusal Exercise Notice.
The
Company shall have the right to purchase (the “Right
of First Refusal”)
all
but not less than all of the Total Shares which are described in the Transfer
Notice (the “Offered
Shares”)
at any
time during the period commencing upon receipt of the Transfer Notice and ending
forty-five (45) days after the first date on which the Company determines that
the Right of First Refusal may be exercised without incurring an accounting
expense with respect to such exercise (the “Option
Period”)
at (i)
the per share price or value and in accordance with the terms stated in the
Transfer Notice (subject to Section 4(c) below) or (ii) the fair market
value of the Offered Shares on the date on which the purchase is to be effected
if no consideration is paid pursuant to the terms stated in the Transfer Notice,
which Right of First Refusal shall be exercised by written notice (the
“First
Refusal Exercise Notice”)
to the
Stockholder.
(c)
Payment
Terms.
The
Company shall consummate the purchase of the Offered Shares on the terms set
forth in the Transfer Notice within 30 days after delivery of the First Refusal
Exercise Notice; provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice
provides for the payment for the Offered Shares other than in cash, the Company
and/or its assigns shall have the right to pay for the Offered Shares by the
discounted cash equivalent of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice
as reasonably determined by the Company. Upon payment for the Offered Shares
to
the Stockholder or into escrow for the benefit of the Stockholder, the Company
or its assigns shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Offered Shares
and all rights and interest therein or related thereto, and the Company shall
have the right to transfer the Offered Shares to its own name or its assigns
without further action by the Stockholder.
(c)
Assignment.
Whenever the Company shall have the right to purchase Total Shares under this
Right of First Refusal, the Company may designate and assign one or more
employees, officers, directors or stockholders of the Company or other persons
or organizations, to exercise all or a part of the Company’s Right of First
Refusal.
(d)
Non-Exercise.
If the
Company and/or its assigns do not collectively elect to exercise the Right
of
First Refusal within the Option Period or such earlier time if the Company
and/or its assigns notifies the Stockholder that it will not exercise the Right
of First Refusal, then the Stockholder may transfer the Shares upon the terms
and conditions stated in the Transfer Notice, provided that (i) the transfer
is
made within 90 days of the date the Company and/or its assigns notify the
Stockholder that the Right of First Refusal will not be exercised ; and (ii)
the
transferee agrees in writing that such Total Shares shall be held subject to
the
provisions of this Agreement.
(e)
Termination
of Right of First Refusal.
The
provisions of this Right of First Refusal shall terminate as to all Total Shares
upon the closing of the first sale to the general public pursuant to a
registration statement filed with and declared effective by the Securities
and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the
Company’s Common Stock.
Section
5. Tax
Election
The
vesting of the Total Shares under this Agreement may result in adverse tax
consequences for the Stockholder that may be avoided or mitigated by filing
an
election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. The
Stockholder should consult with his or her personal tax advisor to determine
the
tax consequences of entering into this Agreement and the advantages and
disadvantages of filing the Section 83(b) election.
The
Stockholder agrees to provide the Company with a copy of any timely election
made pursuant to Section 83(b) or similar provision of state law. If
Stockholder makes a timely election, Stockholder agrees to promptly pay to
the
Company any amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal, state and local
income and employment tax withholding requirements.
Section
6. Spousal
Consent
If
requested by the Company and if the Stockholder is, on the date of execution
of
this Agreement, married or later becomes married or remarries, the Stockholder
agrees to use his best efforts to obtain and deliver to the Company the Consent
of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Section
7. Notices
Any
notice required or permitted to be given hereunder by the Company shall be
given
in writing at the then-current address listed for the Stockholder on the books
and records of the Company.
Section
8. Governing
Law, Severability
The
parties intend that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. Any provision of this
Agreement that is deemed invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without rendering invalid or
unenforceable the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If any provision
of
this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it is the intention
of
the parties that such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced
with
a valid and enforceable provision as like in tenor to the invalid or
unenforceable provision as is possible.

Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior communications, representations

matter hereof. There are no promises, terms, conditions, obligations,
